I hate to say it, but the A's probably have a better chance at making the playoffs than the Yanks.

yes, due to the division they're in. but that doesn't make them better.

yes, but it's hard to consistently make the playoffs and be considered mediocre.

i was talking about their recent postseason record being crappy. they get in as div leader or wildcard, then promptly lose in the first round.

i guess joe morgan was right: moneyball doesn't work in the playoffs.

Jesus christ, you're an idiot.

The [censored] Red Sox won a World Series by utilizing performance analysis.

sweet walk off by the big hurt. Great win in the first game of a big series against the Halos.

Luck sack win against the Red Sox tonight. We'll take'm baby! But the best news is that Dan Johnson got sent down to AAA after the game. Good gawd it's about time.

I misread that as "bad news" and was baffled. Finally!

Boom. Gained a game on the Angels and kept pace with the other two. Beckett and the bullpen got shelled.

Don't look now but the Angels rotation isn't giving up any runs

Boris · #**210** 07-15-2006, 03:57 AM

WOOT! Sweet game tonight.
